M42 no decal: help needed

Hello collectors; I've been offered with this helmet, at a reasonable price. The pics aren't good, and I'm not an expert, so I would like to know your opinion on it.
It's hard to tell which is the actual color, since some pics are made with artificial light and some not.
Any suggestion will be really appreciated, thanks.

Re: M42 no decal: help needed

Thanks to you all; I think it is a factory no decal M42, and some genius tryied to see if under the paint there was a decal, first using acetone, and then scratching the paint... What do you think about the liner and the paint? The leather seems quite thick (look at the holes). The asking price is 300 euro. Thanks again for your replies.
